ConsHowever, I'm not sure about its long-term effectiveness. Also, it seems to draw moisture away, leaving my skin feeling a bit dry.
TipI think it would be great to follow up with a hydrating essence after applying this!

I've been using it again since February 2023, and I feel like my pores have shrunk a bit. Since I saw results with ISOI's 'Cicago Cica Double Effect Ampoule', I believe consistent use of this product will also show benefits.
ConsIt might be too drying for winter use, but should be fine for summer.
TipI'm currently using this with 'ISOI Pore Tightening Fresh Gel Cream', and it seems great for pore management. I'm considering trying the serum next. My evening routine: B.PLAIN Greenbean Cleansing Oil → B.PLAIN Greenbean Low pH Cleansing Foam → Torriden Dive-In Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Toner → ISOI Pore Tightening Program (Ampoule) (1-2 times a week) → ISOI Pore Tightening Fresh Gel Cream (used together with the ISOI Pore Tightening Program Ampoule).

It's not too sticky and absorbs quickly after application. There's a definite feeling that it's working to minimize pores.
ConsIt seems like the firm texture disappears rather quickly... Even though it clearly absorbs well when you touch your skin, the overall feeling on the skin is somewhat underwhelming.

By the way, this product is known as a 'pore ampoule'. If you're in your 40s or older and noticing vertical pores, enlarged pores, or sagging skin, you absolutely must buy this! I've seen dramatic results - my pores have genuinely shrunk, tightened, and there's much less sagging. Isoi is known for their high-quality ingredients. I bought this with confidence, knowing it's a truly clean product without any of the top 20 ingredients to avoid or potential allergens. Dermatologists often say there's no way to reduce enlarged or sagging pores, and even laser treatments have minimal effect. So I started using this product without high expectations. At first, I didn't notice much, but with continued use, I felt my pores gradually tightening and shrinking. I previously used Clinique's Pore Minimizer Serum, but it had poor ingredients, was more expensive, and only somewhat effective. I'm extremely satisfied with trying this Isoi product with its superior ingredients. After over 2 months of use, my pores have genuinely reduced. Even my dermatologist was surprised by how much they've shrunk! When comparing photos taken before and after a whitening treatment at the dermatologist's office, we noticed that while my skin tone hadn't changed, my pores had significantly decreased - it was shocking! If you're concerned about sagging pores, vertical pores, or general sagging after your 40s, you absolutely must use this. Director Pi also mentioned it helps with firmness, so I plan to use this product forever. It seems to have an effect on wrinkles too. Since using this, my deep wrinkles appear slightly less noticeable, and my face looks so much firmer overall that even others have noticed the remarkable results. The texture is close to water but with a slight stickiness. When first applied, it feels extremely hydrating, almost sticky. After patting it in and waiting a bit, it all absorbs, the stickiness disappears, and you feel a slight tightening sensation. The dropper packaging is hygienic and helps prevent waste.
ConsAs shown in the photo, the size is really small, and given the high price, it can feel a bit burdensome. My skin is super sensitive, and when I first applied this product mainly around my T-zone and sides of my nose, those specific areas became red and irritated. After taking a break for a few days and trying again, it calmed down. I repeated this process, and now I'm able to use it regularly without issues. There's a very faint herbal scent, barely noticeable. It's not artificial, just a slight fragrance that disappears quickly after application.
TipFor best results and quicker absorption, apply by gently patting it into your skin. Isoi offers two pore-related serums: The Pore Tightening Control Serum is suitable for younger skin, while the Pore Tightening Program (ampoule) that I purchased is great for those in their 40s and beyond.

When applied, the skin feels tightened and firmed as it dries.
ConsIt's so expensive... It's best to stock up when they have a 1+1 deal. The volume is also quite small. 😢 But the effects are amazing!
TipSince it's quite pricey, I only apply it to the concentrated areas like my nose, cheeks, and chin. But the effects are still great!

ConsOther than the price, there's nothing wrong with it. I want to apply it even more thickly. It tightens the skin immediately, so drier skin may need additional moisturizing afterwards.
TipI apply this product to my T-zone and cheeks right after washing my face (to enhance absorption). I don't use a toner and go straight to applying other ampoules and creams, and it's really effective on my vertical pores! I want to continue using it consistently.

ConsWhile I don't have any major complaints about the product, I think it would be better if the price was a bit lower or the volume was larger in relation to the cost.
TipSince the volume is limited, I mainly apply it to the areas where my pores are visible and excess sebum is produced.

But this product's ability to finish with a refreshing feel is a major advantage for me. The dropper-style applicator allows for a neat application, and while it doesn't cause rapid pore contraction, with continued use, I do feel a sense of refinement. When I stop using this product, I notice my pores seem to expand again, and I find myself reaching for it once more.
ConsWhile the moisturizing power is not entirely absent, for those with dry skin types, the moisturizing ability may be considered somewhat weak. The biggest disappointment is the high price point relative to the product volume. For students, it may be a bit of a stretch. However, the price range is still reasonable enough to justify the purchase for the purpose of pore reduction.

I've repurchased it almost 10 times already. It seems to be quite decent, so I continue to use it.
ConsIt's not so great, but it was okay. There's really nothing disappointing about it.
TipI only use it on the pore butterfly zone after applying the pore toner.

You can feel your pores becoming a little tighter. You can use this product on your T-zone, especially on your nose, without any issues. I use this product alone on my cheeks. The application, scent, and feel are all good. It's not too thin, but has a slightly viscous liquid texture. There is no oily feel at all.
ConsI think most pore products are similar in this way, but I'm not sure if my pores are actually shrinking or not. Hmm, it's better than not using anything, but the visible effects aren't dramatic. And if you read the product information carefully, it says that using this product alone is not enough to see effects. You need to use it along with other pore care products like toners and serums to see the benefits.
TipI usually buy this product when Amore Pacific has a one-plus-one sale. You can get it a little cheaper if you time your purchase right. And I don't recommend using it in the morning before makeup. The makeup tends to lift a bit.
